Former international Center Andrezao Barbosa de Abreu (213-C-2002) had an amazing evening in the last round for Zopone/ Gali/ Unimed/Bauru Basket and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 36.
The 23-year old center had a double-double of 23 points and 14 rebounds, while his team outclassed Cearense (#17, 6-23) with 37-point margin 107-70. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. Paschoalotto/Bauru maintains the 9th position in Brazilian NBB. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Bauru will need more victories to improve their 18-12 record. Barbosa de Abreu turned to be Paschoalotto/Bauru's top player in his first season with the team. Andrezao Barbosa de Abreu averages this season 17.4ppg and 10.1rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Douglas Silva (202-SF-1998) of Coop/Sao Jose Basketball. Silva impressed basketball fans with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course he led Sao Jose to another comfortable win 98-81 over the lower-ranked Osasco (#19, 4-25) being unquestionably team leader. Sao Jose's 8th position in the standings has not changed. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 18-12 record is not bad and everything may still change. Silva is one of the most experienced players at Sao Jose and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Venezuelan Edson Tovar (180-PG-2004) of Paulistano/Corpore Sao Paolo (#7). Tovar showcased his all-around game by recording 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Paulistano, leading his team to a 109-102 win against the lower-ranked UniFacisa (#12, 14-14). Paulistano needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 18 victories and 11 lost games. Tovar has a very solid season. In 15 games in Brazil he scored 7.5ppg.
